When Jiang Yue arrived at the old house, she was surprised to see several outsiders there.
Among them was a pretty girl with darting eyes, who glanced around and then looked at her with a hint of disdain.
"Your third son's family is here! Let me introduce you. This is Aunt Zhang from Zhangjiawan next door. They're here with their family of four to visit relatives, so they've come over for a chat."
Old Zhou finished introducing the family of three sitting in the courtyard to her third son's wife in a few words.
Jiang Yue saw her mother-in-law wink at her and immediately understood. It seemed that this was the daughter-in-law her mother-in-law had chosen for her.
However, it seems that Miss Zhang didn't fancy her.
"Oh, so this is the third son's wife. It's been many years. I heard you've turned over a new leaf and even built new houses for your sons?"
The woman, referred to as Aunt Zhang, smiled slightly, her greeting lacking in tact; her words, both complimentary and derogatory, were unpleasant to hear.
Old Mrs. Zhou frowned. Although she intended to help her grandson marry her daughter, Mrs. Zhang, it did not mean she would tolerate such a disparaging treatment of her daughter-in-law!
"Cough cough, you old woman, what nonsense are you talking about? Look at you, you're so happy to see your aunt that you're just blurting things out!"
The man next to her coughed lightly, seemingly disapproving of his wife's words, but actually just trying to defend her.
After just one glance, Jiang Yue knew in her heart that her son was not worthy of this family!
"Mom, I just remembered I have something to do at home, so I won't disturb you while you're entertaining the guests. I'll head back now."
Jiang Yue, mindful of her mother-in-law's feelings, made up an excuse to leave.
Old Zhou knew in her heart that her third son's wife had been humiliated and looked down on the Zhang family's daughter.
However, she was also somewhat dissatisfied, so she readily said:
"Okay, let's take a pumpkin home and eat it."
"Why."
Jiang Yue nodded. Her mother-in-law didn't seem angry, which was good. They, as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, shouldn't get angry over outsiders!
While Old Zhou went to the kitchen to get a pumpkin, Aunt Zhang started making sarcastic remarks again:
"Sanlang's wife, I'm not trying to criticize you, but look at you! You're wearing new clothes, but you don't even know how to show respect to your mother-in-law. A woman's job is to be a good wife and mother, and to be dutiful to her elders!"
Jiang Yue, instead of getting angry, smiled and continued the conversation by asking:
"Aunt Zhang, you're right. It's just that my Sanlang died young, and I only have three sons and one daughter to raise. Unlike you, who dresses well and has a beautiful daughter. I suppose your daughter is engaged? Is she the young master of some wealthy family or the son of a high-ranking official?"
"you--"
Aunt Zhang was furious. If her daughter could be matched with the son of a wealthy man or a high-ranking official, would she have dragged her daughter here for a matchmaking?
"Mother~"
A sweet, coquettish "Mother" brought her back to her senses.
Jiang Yue shuddered, goosebumps rising on her skin!
“Li’er, you’re taking the side of outsiders.”
Aunt Zhang winked at them, saying, "They are the women, they should know how to be poised!"
Don't act like you're worthless, lest the Chiang family look down on you!
“Aunt Jiang, please don’t hold it against my mother. My mother is outspoken and has offended people without realizing it. Please be magnanimous.”
Zhang Li'er was already delicate and lovable, and with her soft, pleading tone and eyes, anyone else would have surrendered long ago.
But who is Jiang Yue?
She's a tea connoisseur!
In her eyes, Zhang Li'er was a complete green tea b*tch!
The kind that's bursting with the aroma of tea!
“I am a woman, petty and narrow-minded.”
Jiang Yue shook her head, rejecting the little green tea's moral blackmail without hesitation!
Just then, her mother-in-law came out carrying a pumpkin, so she went over, took the pumpkin, and whispered to her mother-in-law:
"Mother, this girl won't do."
Then say loudly:
"Mom, I'm going home to cook. I'll come visit you another day."
This shows that she came to see her mother-in-law, not to find a match for a girl from your Zhang family!
After saying that, Jiang Yue quickly slipped away, too lazy to waste any more words with the Zhang family.
"Aunt Zhou, look at your third son's wife, her nostrils are practically pointing to the sky!"
Zhang stamped her foot unhappily. What kind of matchmaking is this?
"That's enough, shut up."
Seeing that Old Zhou's expression was not good, Zhang Dalang felt guilty and dared not make a scene.
Only Zhang Li'er lowered her eyes, harboring some resentment towards that aunt from before!
They look down on Zhang Li'er?
Heh~
Just you wait!
She wanted to see what kind of person the other family's son was!
Jiang Yue carried a large pumpkin home. After she got home, her two sons also came back from working in the fields.
Cao'er stayed home playing with Xiaobai and also looked after the house.
"Ugh, I'm so angry!"
After seeing her children, Jiang Yue decided to give her two sons a heads-up.
Sure enough, after hearing her angry words, the three children gathered around to find out what was going on.
"Mother, who wronged you? Tell your son, and I'll get revenge for you!"
"Mother, tell me who offended you! My brother and I will go beat him up!"
"Mom, please sit down and talk. Don't get upset; it's not worth it."
Jiang Yue suppressed the slight upturn of her lips. No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, the children are on her side!
So she embellished the story and told it to the world:
"In short, I think this Zhang family girl is up to no good. You brothers, don't let her bewitch you and make me angry."
Jiang Yue disliked Zhang Li'er, not only because of Zhang's excellent tea-making skills, but also because Zhang's parents were mentally unstable and spoke in a sarcastic and unpleasant manner...
Becoming in-laws is absolutely out of the question!
"Mother, don't worry, no matter how beautiful that girl is, your son won't fall for her!"
"Mother, what my elder brother said is exactly what I think. No matter how beautiful a girl is, if she doesn't respect you, I won't take her!"
Wu Daniu and Wu Ergou both made their statements, leaving no room for ambiguity.
Wu Daniu used to only care about money, while Wu Ergou wanted to get married.
It's true that they all have certain fantasies about their future wives, but it doesn't necessarily have to be beautiful; being virtuous is the primary consideration!
Speaking of virtuousness, a delicate face suddenly flashed through Wu Daniu's mind, and he blushed as he said:
"Mom, actually, I have a girl I like."
Jiang Yue opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise:
"Da Niu, tell your mother, which family's girl do you like?"
"Mother, it's...it's Aunt Liu's eldest daughter, Wu Daxue."
Wu Daniu honestly explained that when his family was very poor, Daxue would secretly give him dried sweet potatoes to eat.
He never dared to think about it or express his feelings before.
Now, his mother is going to arrange a marriage for him. No matter how pretty the other girls are, none of them are the Daxue he likes!
Da Xue is a kind and righteous girl, and he only wants to marry her!
Besides, he believed that Daxue could take care of his mother with him!
"Da Niu, tell your mother, are you serious?"
When Jiang Yue heard that it was Widow Liu's daughter, she recalled the pretty little girl in her mind.
To be honest, she felt that he and her boyfriend were quite a good match in terms of personality and character!
